Abstract

A device and method are disclosed for a configurable snowshoe and ski device (100). The device (100) may include a base member (102) having a bottom for traversing over snow, and wings (110) rotatably coupled to the member (102), the wings convertible between a skiing configuration (700) and a snowshoe configuration (600) in which the wings (110) extend outward laterally. Also, the device may include a traction device (402a) connected to the base member (102) and configured for gripping snow or ice when the plurality of wings (110) is in the snowshoe configuration (600). The method may include rotatating a plurality of wings (110) coupled to a base member (102) outward laterally to form a snowshoe configuration (600), and rotating the plurality of wings (110) inward to form a skiing configuration (700) in which the wings (110) form a surface for gliding over snow.
